Aisha Yahaya, a 300-level female student from the Food and Science Technology Department at Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology in Wudil, Kano, was discovered deceased in a student lodge located outside the school premises.
According to report on Monday, it was revealed that the female student passed away on April 22, 2024, immediately after completing her first examination during the ongoing first-semester examination period.
A student from the school, who preferred to remain anonymous due to concerns about potential victimization, “She was found dead right after finishing her first paper. Some individuals close to the deceased student suggested that she might have succumbed to the pressure of examinations. The incident occurred outside the campus, specifically in the students’ area. She was a 300-level student in the Food and Science Technology Department.”
In a condolence statement issued by the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, jointly signed by its Ameer, Harun Harun, and Public Relations Officer 1, Ibrahim Tata, it was stated, “Death, the inevitable fate of all beings, is ordained by Allah. However, whatever unfolds has been predetermined by Allah, the Almighty, and is unquestionably in accordance with our creator’s will.”
